Luke 19 includes the account of Jesus and Zacchaeus the tax collector, and there is no mention of Zacchaeus being surnamed Matthias. Indeed, Zacchaeus's family name is not mentioned at all. However, there was another tax collector named Matthew, also known as Levi, who (like Zacchaeus) changed his ways after meeting Jesus. In Acts chapter one, when Matthias is chosen to replace Judas as one of the twelve apostles, there is no mention of another name for him.
